Yam Masiyal

Ingredients:

Karunaikizhangu-5
Minced onion-1 cup
Green chillies-6
Lemon juice-1 lemon
Turmeric powder-1/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil -2 table spoons

Method:

  • Pressure cook the kizhangu for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin when cold. Smash it nicely without lumps. Add the lemon juice, salt and turmeric powder and mix well. In olden days tamarind pulp was used instead of lemon. But due to the bad effects of too much of tamarind, now a days it has been substituted with lemon juice. Some kizhangu will be scratchy and it will be itching for the tongue. Lemon juice or tamarind will remove that.
  • Keep the kadai in the stove. In two table spoons of cooking oil season the curry with a teaspoon of mustard and broken urudh dhal and little curry leaf. Add the minced onion and splitted green chili and sauté for a while.
  • Now add the smashed kizhangu and sauté for 5 minutes. After that add ½ cup of water and mix nicely without lumps. Reduce the flame and cook stirring in between .After sometime it will start catching the bottom of the kadai. From now on you have to be very careful and have to go on stirring. If it is catching too much add ½ spoon of oil and cook.
  • A stage will come when the whole curry just floats in the kadai like halwa. It will be good if you can cook 5 more minutes even after that. The whole dish will turn little browny. Make sure that the fire is not too much and it does not get burnt.
